Frank Ocean has stirred up excitement among fans by teasing a snippet of new music through a video blog from UFC fighter Payton Talbott, who is rumored to be his boyfriend.
In a recent YouTube vlog, Payton Talbott showcased moments from his life set to unreleased music from Frank Ocean. The snippet, reminiscent of Ocean’s 2016 album ‘Blonde,’ features heartfelt lyrics as he sings, ‘I read your diary, every line / I wanna drink your words like wine.’ Fans can listen to the brief 36-second clip online.
The reclusive R&B artist hasn’t released a full album since ‘Blonde’ and has only sporadically dropped singles, with the last appearing in 2020. However, glimpses of new music have emerged through his Blonded Radio show on Apple Music, suggesting that he’s been working on fresh material.
Longtime collaborator Pharrell confirmed the singer’s busy studio life, noting Ocean’s meticulous approach to music-making: ‘Frank stays in the kitchen. And it’s probably the reason why he doesn’t serve as much. He really enjoys the culinary process.’ Meanwhile, Ocean’s personal life has been equally intriguing.
Rumors about his relationship with Talbott began last year after they were spotted together. Although neither has publicly confirmed the romance, their Valentine’s Day social media posts hinted at a close connection. Ocean posted a photo of Talbott, while Talbott shared a video of Ocean at the gym.
Speculation intensified when a friend of Talbott suggested there was more to the story, jokingly mentioning, ‘I got his lyrics tattooed on me and he’s over here kissing Payton.’ Ocean’s presence at Talbott’s UFC fight further fueled the gossip as he shared a picture of Talbott cooking in the kitchen.
While fans eagerly await more music, Ocean’s recent activities keep them engaged, both for new tunes and insights into his intriguing personal life.
Frank Ocean’s teaser has reignited interest in his music, with fans eager for more reveals. While the snippet serves as a tantalizing promise for future releases, it is his personal life that keeps the rumor mills turning.
